A member asked:
Both axillary lymph nodes were very sore yesterday and now they are just very bruised. i have a head cold. would that cause the bruising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, that's unusual: This may be something more than a simple head cold. I'd suggest seeing your family doctor about this. Especially if you have had recent weight loss, fever, night sweats, sore throat, fatigue, decreased appetite, menstrual changes or other constitutional symptoms, even if they were subtle before. Easy bruising is also a concern, especially if it is new. Please see your doc ASAP. Feel better soon!
